Actually, I am still studying. This is my second year of the diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care at USP in Fiji.
Corrections:
1. Change “in studying” to “studying”.
2. Capitalize “diploma”.
3. Use “and” instead of “And” in “Education And Care”.
4. Consider adding “the” before “diploma” for smoother sentence flow.
Keep up the good work!

Currently, I am a stay-at-home mom. However, before I started looking after my family full-time, I used to work as a housekeeping supervisor in five-star hotels for the best part of 3 years.
– Change “stay-at-home mom” to “a stay-at-home mom” for correct article usage.
– It should be “full-time” instead of “full time” for adverbial use.
– Change “housekeeping supervisor” to “a housekeeping supervisor” for the correct use of the indefinite article.
– Consider changing “for the best part” to “for the better part” to convey the intended meaning more clearly.
Currently, I’m a year-10 student studying at Luu Van Liet High School. There are 7 compulsory subjects including literature, math, English, history, P.E and defense and security education that I must study. Besides, I have to determine my major and i think math, literature and physics is suitable for me.
Great job on your answer! I have a few suggestions for improvement:
1. “P.E” should be written as “P.E.”
2. Instead of saying “defense and security education,” it would be better to say “defense and security studies.”
3. When mentioning your choice of subjects, you can improve the sentence structure for better clarity: “Besides, I have to select my major, and I believe that math, literature, and physics are suitable for me.”
Keep up the good work!

I am an Executive Officer at National Bank Limited, stationed at the Shimanto Square Branch.
Your answer is good, but for this question, it would be better to mention whether you work or study directly. So, a more concise answer would be: “I work as an Executive Officer at National Bank Limited, stationed at the Shimanto Square Branch.”
